@graphius  What system are you running?  Is it i386 or amd64?
My system is amd64 running natty and as you can see by my comments the printer 
DCP-7040 does not work.
As I stated it is more that a printer rather it is a printer, scanner, copier.
I have some plain brother printers which work.  Just not this model.
Further,  Brother does not have a amd64 driver and due to the age of the device 
it appears that they have
no intention of creating 64 bit drivers.  I have looked on their site and there 
are few if any 64 bit drivers for
any of their products.
I tried Lucid, Maveric and Natty  and none work.
Since I have 3 complete systems the problem appears to be Ubuntu related.
Further,  I installed openSUSE and have the same problem.  The basic printer 
handling is the same as in 
Ubuntu.  
dpkg: error processing /home/bill/Downloads/brdcp7040lpr-2.0.2-1.i386.deb 
(--install):
 package architecture (i386) does not match system (amd64)
Does this not seem to make things clear?
If you have a solution I would like to here of it.
